Največji padec v zgodovini Tesle, spori s Trumpom in negotova prihodnost elektromobilnosti

June 12, 2025

Tesla has always been seen as a representative of technological dominance, vision, and success on the stock market. Unfortunately, since the beginning of 2025, the situation has changed and the market wants to see concrete results that the high valuation, caused by the initial euphoria, would justify. Following this comes a blow to the stock, which fell by 14% in one day, dropping the market capitalization below $1 trillion.* Should investors start worrying?

Political context

At the end of May, we informed you about Tesla's surpassing in the number of sales by BYD, which undoubtedly hurt the manufacturer, but there is a completely different reason behind last week's $126 billion drop in market capitalization, which is the largest ever recorded by this electric car manufacturer. The blow came from the highest level of American politics. President Donald Trump raised a warning finger for Elon Musk himself, threatening to cancel government contracts for all of his companies, Tesla, SpaceX, as well as the newly formed startup xAI.

The reason may surprise you. In his remarks, Musk strongly opposed Trump's budget bill because it did not include the necessary subsidies for electric cars or tax breaks for solar panels. In addition, if this law is recognized, each electric car owner will face an annual fee of $250, which Musk called a "disgusting abomination."

Disputes on social networks and in the Oval Office

With the words of both of the couple, it is important to stay for a while, because the tension is escalating especially on social networks, where Trump and Musk exchange very sharp comments that no one would have expected just a few months ago.

"Elon was starting to get on my nerves. I asked him to leave, I took away his EV mandate, which forced everyone to buy electric cars that no one else wanted, which he knew months in advance, and he just went crazy!" Musk did not wait with his reaction, on his own social network X. "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, the Democrats would have controlled the House, and the Senate would have been 51-49."

Weak sales and competitive pressure

The market reacted immediately to this news, but as mentioned above, the 14% decline comes in the phase of a broader correction trend.* The American manufacturer has been facing declining sales of electric cars in Europe for a long time, with its expected breakthrough autonomous taxi service in Austin, Texas, still delayed. On the contrary, while Tesla has not yet launched the service, Google's competitor Waymo is already actively operating commercial rides, at a solid growing pace.

Opportunity or warning?

Ironically, even in May, despite weak sales, Tesla shares grew by more than 22%, which again points to the fact that the price was supposed to rise only based on future potential, but the current situation reveals reality.* If Tesla does not promptly show concrete results in the field of autonomous technologies and does not ease tensions with Washington, the current fall may turn into a longer-term trend of loss of confidence,  And not only from the market, but also from the state, which has been its key partner so far.

Casey je presegel pričakovanja, a delnice so se močno znižale: dobre poslovne rezultate je zasenčilo upočasnjenje prodaje

Casey je presegel pričakovanja, a delnice so se močno znižale: dobre poslovne rezultate je zasenčilo upočasnjenje prodaje

September 14, 2026

Podjetje Casey’s General Stores je poslovno leto 2027 začelo z rezultati, ki so na prvi pogled videti zelo impresivni. Vendar pa se za temi odličnimi številkami skriva zgodba, ki je precej bolj zapletena in vlagateljem postavlja več vprašanj kot daje jasnih odgovorov. Trg ne gleda le na to, koliko je podjetje zaslužilo, ampak tudi na to, kako je doseglo ta rezultat in ali bo lahko v prihodnjih četrtletjih ohranilo podobno hitrost rasti.

Družba DICK’S Sporting Goods je v enem samem dnevu izgubila 31 % vrednosti: Foot Locker se je iz velike naložbe spremenil v velik problem

September 1, 2026

Podjetje DICK’S Sporting Goods je objavilo rezultate, ki so na prvi pogled videti zelo impresivni. Vendar pa se za znatno rastjo skriva zgodba, ki je precej bolj zapletena in za vlagatelje veliko manj pomirjujoča. Nekateri podatki kažejo, da se glavna strateška poteza podjetja še ne odvija v skladu s pričakovanji. Trg se je na te novice odzval izredno ostro, delnice podjetja DICK’S Sporting Goods pa so po objavi rezultatov strmo padle za 30,7 % na 124,31 dolarja, kar je bil najslabši trgovalni dan v zgodovini podjetja.*

Podjetje Applied Materials podira rekorde, a delnice padajo: celo močan razcvet na področju umetne inteligence vlagateljem ni več dovolj

August 25, 2026

Podjetje Applied Materials je začelo sezono objavljanja poslovnih rezultatov na način, ki se na prvi pogled zdi skoraj brezhiben. Številke kažejo moč v celotnem poslovanju, napovedi kažejo, da se tempo morda ne bo upočasnil, vodstvo pa govori o povpraševanju, ki sega preko običajnega obdobja načrtovanja. Kljub temu se je trg na objavo poslovnih rezultatov odzval na način, ki je bil v nasprotju z večino pričakovanj vlagateljev. [1]
